[quote=Anonymous] My dc was in OT at age 3-did not get the ASD dx until 4.5 yrs old. OT was GREAT for my child! She had gross and fine motor skills delays. By the time she finished OT, she was able to jump (previously would not lift both feet off the ground), swing, climb, and learned to use scissors. That being said, I was only able to do once a week OT, due to my work schedule (she also did private and group ST). But I spoke to the therapist each time and they helped me implement stuff at home-things like, got her a foam balance beam, scooter board, ect for use at home (amazon is great for this stuff). She actually hit all her goals right around her 5th birthday, and we stopped, restarted briefly around 6.5 due to aversion to hair/teeth brushing. That was improved in a few months and we stopped then. I would probably not cut back on ABA for OT though. I would revisit that in maybe a year or so and cut back then if need be. I would prioritize ST and ABA. [/quote]
